CVS deploy

Helps sites that are deployed directly from a CVS workspace, as opposed to sites built via packages downloaded from drupal.org. This module is only meant for power-users who manage their sites via CVS.

The CVS deploy module is required if you deploy from CVS and use either Drupal version 6.x and higher, or the Update status contributed module for Drupal version 5.x. CVS deploy handles some important functionality to allow the Update status module to work for packages checked out from CVS instead of downloaded as tarballs from drupal.org.

CVS deploy also alters the modules page at admin/build/modules to put human-readable version strings in place, instead of the ugly $Name: DRUPAL-5--1-2 $ versions that are currently displayed when you deploy a Drupal site from CVS. It will even attempt to figure out the version based on the CVS sticky tag of the workspace you checked out a given module from if there's no version string in the module's .info file.

CVS deploy is also required if you wish to use the incredibly helpful drush package manager, which handles installation and updates of Drupal projects via a simple command-line interface. For example, want to install the latest stable version of views? With drush, all you need to type is drush pm install views.
